About: I’ve been working with dogs for the past two years, and I absolutely love caring for these wonderful animals! Through my experience in dog daycare, kennel care, and grooming, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience with reading canine body language, feeding and administering medications, bathing and drying dogs of different breeds, and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have two dogs of my own: a 2-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd and a 13-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix. Caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I walk them daily, manage my senior dog’s medications, take them to veterinary and grooming appointments, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! As of right now, I'm currently working part time so I definitely have the time to care for your pets! I'm fully available anytime on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. For the rest of the week I'll be in the grooming salon gaining more experience, but I would be available anytime after 4pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays! Your fur baby's safety is always my top priority! I take extra care to ensure your pup is securely leashed before walks, follow all feeding and medication instructions closely, and double-check that all doors and gates are safely secured. I also believe that open communication with pet parents is essential, and I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your fur baby is in good hands. I'll always do my best to keep you updated and ensure your pup receives the love, attention, and care they deserve!
“Rebecca was wonderful with our dog Lulu during a weekend away. Lulu met her a few days before and took to her quickly. When Rebecca arrived a few days later, Lulu was so happy to see her. We have a wedding to go to in San Diego next April and needed to find someone to stay with Lulu - we found her! We will schedule her a couple more times before then as she was great with Lulu. Thanks Rebecca.”
“Fruzsina is a fantastic, highly engaged dog walker. Her communication is top-tier—I always get great photos and a breakdown of how the walk went. She is very proactive about suggesting new ways to keep my dog enriched and stimulated. She is very involved and enthusiastic, which shows how much she cares. A great choice for any owner who values a collaborative and communicative partnership.”
“Karinna took Toby for an afternoon walk. I know how excited he gets to be outside so I’m so happy Karinna was available. I appreciated the write up and pics of his time. I’d recommend Karinna for walks with your fur babies.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of genuine care, attentiveness, and patience I bring to every pet I work with. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I have experience with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling, medication, and a slower pace. I’m confident in reading animal behavior and adjusting to their needs, whether that means helping a shy pet come out of their shell or keeping a high-energy pup mentally and physically stimulated. I’m also reliable, clean, and communicative with pet parents so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently home for the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility and time to dedicate to your furry friend! I absolutely love getting my steps in—so walks, playtime, and keeping your pet active are right up my alley. Whether it’s a game of tug-of-war, fetch, or working their brain with fun puzzles, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. What sets me apart is the energy and attentiveness I bring to every visit. I don’t just “watch” pets—I engage with them, connect with them, and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether your pup needs structured walks or your senior dog needs a little extra care and patience, I’ve got them covered. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet can thrive. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and even snuggle time. I make sure they feel like part of the family, with lots of attention, enrichment, and love throughout the day.
About: I genuinely treat every pet like my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I have experience training puppies, helping with potty routines and basic commands, as well as caring for senior pets who need a little extra TLC, whether it’s administering medication or moving at their pace. I pay close attention to details, and I’m always happy to give updates so you feel connected and reassured while you're away. I’m currently a stay at home mom with my sweet 3 year old boy, Rottweiler pup Kaiya, and senior cat Madeline. I would be more than happy to share my time with your pets, giving them the love and attention they need while you’re away. I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as you outline, and I always take time to play, cuddle, and keep them company. I treat your home with the same respect I’d expect for my own, clean, secure, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.
“Lindsay was amazing with our little rescue dog. She understands how to work with dogs that have experienced trauma with patience and understanding. She spent extra time with our fur baby to help with his anxiety. We would highly recommend her to any pet owner.”
About: I have experience with high-drive breed puppies, elderly couch potato pups, and everything in between. I provide undivided attention and care to your animals. Whether it be a walk, a drop-in, or a visit to keep them company, I care for them like I would my own. I work full time, typically 3-11pm with flexible days off. I am completely available every day before 2pm and have flexibility in the evening hours if coordinated in advance. I am available for multiple visits a day even on days I work. What better way to spend the day than taking your pup for a walk or keeping your cat company? I'd love to! I am happy to care for your pet in their home where they're most comfortable. I work as a police officer and deeply value integrity and security. I do have an older pitbull and a shepherd puppy at home should your dog want a play date!
“Katie helped me out tremendously when I had to find a pet sitter to walk my dog Kava last minute, and she was absolutely fantastic! She was responsive, professional, and so kind. She was truly a life saver and I felt confident that Kava was in good hands.”

About: I am a huge animal person and have been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a 7 year old (30lb) dog that we rescued as a puppy. She is a sweet girl and is use to having a companion (since we also had a spaniel for 17 years that recently passed away) so she is comfortable with other dogs. We also foster puppies and have experience with many different breeds and personalities! While you're away, working, or just have other plans that can't include your pet, he or she is welcome to stay with us or I can come to you. Either way, I will strive to make your furry family member feel comfortable and cared for. During the day, your pet will get plenty of attention. I currently work from home full time, which allows more flexibility with outside breaks and neighborhood walks. While I work, I will be in the same room as your pet so they will never feel alone. As far as basic care and house rules go, their feeding schedule can be flexible and adjusted to match his/her schedule at home. They are allow to roam the main areas of our home and snuggle up on the couch as they wish!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Manchester is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,182 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Manchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Manchester. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Manchester after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manchester. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
